History
The Moynihan Group was founded by Sean P. Moynihan, a Boston lawyer who in 2007 decided to take a significant risk and launch his own legal and consultancy firm.
Sean worked for over a decade in the Massachusetts House of Representatives. His positions included Counsel to the House Ways and Means Committee, Counsel to the Office of the House Majority Leader, and Legislative Director. As Counsel, Sean worked on many significant public policy issues – in particular - energy and the environment, life sciences/biotech, education, labor, and the administration of justice in the Commonwealth.
His love of public policy and working in the Legislature made him eager to cultivate his own practice, one that would effectively intersect his expertise with his interests. Sean believes that what wins the day and what makes a business thrive is the passion that drives it.
The dynamic focal areas of the firm's practice are government relations and advocacy, corporate law, and transatlantic business. Since opening its doors, the firm has facilitated the success of clients like Burke Distributing Corporation, the Massachusetts Chemistry and Technology Association (MCTA), and Young Enterprise Northern Ireland. Buoyed by a vast network and guided by hands on advocacy, the firm offers clients an exceptional level of enthusiasm, dedication, and nuanced perspective to effectuate their business goals.
